(2020-04-14) Dpro: This is the best dark mode extension so far I ever found. This works for ALL webpages that I use, including graph pages. Amazing work.

(2020-03-11) Anthony Hinten24: whenever i am trying to do something that involves pictures it just inverts the colors on them it does it on all the other sites too

(2020-03-05) Kayleigh Moore: Please add a blackslist/whitelist. Other than that, it is good. Edit: Nvm. Please add a way to customize dark themes.

(2020-01-28) valeri vladimirov: Hi. Probably related to the same bug. Before opening a web page, a delay occurs and for a second it shows a white screen. When I restart the extension is fine.

(2020-01-19) Big Island Baits: Just what i needed! Thx! 🤙🤙🎣🎣

(2020-01-12) Les W: Would find this absolutely perfect if it wasn't for the fact that some of the text goes dark when typing in search bar in eBay and also on Facebook, didn't used to happen only just recently but a pain having to keep disabling then re-enabling the app once I've viewed said text, not sure why this is happening..?

(2020-01-04) Demon Seed: after trying several of these plugins this one seems to be the best at not breaking elements on some sites like amazon's menu bar for example. So I'll be leaving this one installed for a more thorough workout, and see if it will stand up to a proper web surfer...

(2019-11-29) Marc Schmidt: I installed a ton of extensions that do dark mode for web sites. None of them really worked for all web sites. With this extension I have not really found a website that does not work in dark mode.
Only Intranet sites do not work and the extension crashes, which lead to the site not beeing usable anymore. I downloaded the extension source and fixed the issue in background.js where I had to change the regex for getting the domain to "/\w*:\/\/(\w*-*_*)*\.?(\w*-*_*)+(\.\w*)?/g". After that change the extension works really great.

(2019-09-09) Philip Freda: This is the best universal dark mode I have seen/used. There is one way to improve however. Currently, in Google Docs, the document is white below the current line. You can somewhat circumvent this my baking a bunch of blank new lines but this is a bit troublesome. Otherwise, great extension. Keep up the good work

(2019-09-03) Arnab Basu: Great extension ! Big fan ....

(2019-08-11) hurr durr: new update is awful fyi

(2019-07-30) Robert: Turns gifs black on reddit! I am using RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) and when opening a gif, it turns dark and I am unable to watch. It wasn't like this a few months ago. Thanks, great extension for work not to kill my eyes.

(2019-07-30) Emir Mendoza: Sauron is almost perfect. However, it does not allow the "Mark All Read" messages and notifications on Facebook to work.
Edit (July 30, 2019): Looking forward to that, thanks. Lately though, Facebook stories involving videos don't appear with this extension open.

(2019-07-08) Frieren Rose: Great extension! Any plan of adding white list so that we can choose which website to not use dark mode? That will be awesome :)

(2019-07-03) Santana Young: I don't know why it never occurred to me that an extension like this existed. Dark mode is so much easier for my eyes! I love this and nothing looks odd so far. Thank you for this!

(2019-04-09) Devin: It doesn't work properly for soundcloud which I use extensively, I hope developers could look into it.Apart from that love the extension, great job you guys!!

(2019-04-05) honey singh: amazing

(2019-03-31) gingerbud123: Coloured text, such as blue links, seem to be very high in contrast. Other than that, this is really good!

(2020-03-18, v:1.3.2.4) Death On Two Legs: Image negativesOn some websites, with this extension turned on, some images and icons appear to have a "negative" appearance, like when you use the negative effect filter on an image. For example, this emojis on Facebook.

(2019-10-14, v:1.3.2.4) Hendrik Talvik: inverted image coloursWith dark mode on, the colours of images get reversed when looking from a website (from a website based gallery etc).
If I open up the image itself, then the colours are normal.

(2019-08-03, v:1.3.2.4) Richard McWolff: Elements no longer coloredHi,
I belong to a set of forums on DAZ3D... go here to see them:
https://www.daz3d.com/forums/categories/the-commons
When one bookmarks a page using the little star at the top right of the thread it turns Gold... now the star doesn't, it stays gray like the non bookmarked threads. Is there a way to reintroduce elements like that to ignore your script and go with their default script set up so I can have my gold hilight back? There must have been an update that broke that. I'm an older gentleman so it's hard to discern which is bookmarked and which is not bookmarked when perusing the forums.
Thanks so much for a wonderful add on... it's saved my eyes much stress and strain.
Richard

(2019-07-22, v:1.2.4) Frieren Rose: Not working well for Google SheetsNot sure is it because of the recent update, but the Google Sheets are all dark now and I couldn't see anything when I turned on dark mode :( . It used to be fine before this.

(2019-07-18, v:1.2.2) Ed Green: Google Maps Hamburger MenuLoving your extension. The only site I've had to turn it off for is Google Maps on the web because I can no longer see the hamburger menu in the upper left corner. I use it often to select Location Sharing. I there anything you can do about that?

(2019-03-15, v:1.1) Sunnan I. Rahi: Tab Bar is not DarkI have added this extension in chrome. Everything went dark except the tab bar, search bar and bookmarks on the top. Why So?

(2019-03-05, v:1.1) Brandon Dyer: Something is wrong here...I'm curious as to why there's "anonymous google user" reviews promoting this extension on all the other dark mode extensions, yet there's only ONE review on this extension and it's over the top positive. Then, before installing, it makes you approve permission for the extension to view and change all information? There's no way that's happening.
